The clock had ticked up time when Sam Vesty, who had not enjoyed the best of fortune with his goalkicking on a sunny afternoon at Vicarage Road, kicked the penalty goal that won this match yesterday.

More significantly, Leicester’s first win in Watford for three years put five points between them and their nearest challengers at the head of the Guinness Premiership and their remaining game — from which they need one point to ensure first place — is against Bristol, the relegated club, at home.
